Backpropagation is the method we use to optimize parameters in a Neural Network. The ideas behind backpropagation are quite simple, but there are tons of details. This StatQuest focuses on explaining the main ideas in a way that is easy to understand. NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you already know the main ideas behind...
